As we leave the EU, we are seeking to replicate the effects of the EU’s Economic Partnership Agreements (EPAs), which are development-focused trade deals with developing countries. We also intend to allow many non-EPA developing countries to continue to benefit from tariff-free or reduced tariff access to the UK market. These arrangements will complement the African Continental Free Trade Agreement, at the same time as they strengthen UK trade opportunities around the world.</p> answering member constituency West Worcestershire answering member printed Harriett Baldwin question first answered 23/07/2018 14:42:38 answering member 4107 label Biography information for Dame Harriett Baldwin
